[insert witty subtitle here]

Felt nostalgic, Nina/Cheren (or Hilda/Cheren) upon ye

Stumbled upon this random ship (in a fandom im not active in myself) that has like 150 works on ao3 which are all from just two people gifting each other fics about this pairing back and forth and theyve been doing it for 3 years... i think thats true love probably

Got to represent the Ukari ship too!

Fairly new but fun to draw occasionally.

patience is such a compelling dynamic in relationships sorryyy it’s the peak of romance to me

“i’m not ready” “i’ll wait” and i’ll be in shambles

world heritage post: avatar femslash fans on livejournal discussing the possibility of a lesbian or bi lead in the legend of korra in 2010, 2 years before the series first aired. four years later, korra and asami walked into the spirit world together holding hands.

happy korrasami day!

This is the diametric opposite of "we popping the biggest bottles when Makorra happens"

the struggle when you only like a ship / dynamic in a specific way and find it very annoying otherwise. and most of the fandom really really likes it in the annoying way. and you don't really want to blacklist but you Suffer

I believe even healthy&wholesome ships need a distinct note of fucked upness to them that does not negate the otherwise positive nature of their relationship but enriches it by giving it nuances that prevent it from becoming too saccharine. Yes, maybe their love is ultimately good for each other, but if they don't become deranged about it and willing to kill or die for it I won't care.

Same for the other way around. Even the most twisted and sick ship dynamics must have an element of unambiguous wholesomeness in the middle of all that filth. If two characters are just bad for each other I won't care unless you have them do something for one another that makes you go "that was... oddly cute".

Some Shipping Dynamics from Twitter!

Glad you guys like these! Here’s an additional note for the last one:

(Bonus points if the evil figure is the one who gave them the box in the first place.)

me mentally: these characters have a relationship that cannot be defined by any one thing and reaches throughout the narrative and is so woven into their characters that trying to force it under one label would be inaccurate and doing it a disservice.

me out loud: idk man they're fuckin gay

making a collection

i’m gay but i’m always gonna choose the well developed straight ship over the 2 bland and incompatible white dudes that have 500,000 fanfics written about them. you guys just hate women.

show me a straight ship developed better than "we put a man in a room with a cardboard cutout of a woman, they're engaged now" and i'll agree with you

all comic related bc this is a comic blog but idk man sounds like a skill issue 🤷‍♀️

These two literally gave us the word "shipping," remember your dang roots.

Ship bingo! I couldn't find any that fit my preferences so I made my own. Feel free to reblog/repost!

some m/f ships are like. that woman is a lesbian. however that man is a woman so it all works out

before you ship something stop and ask yourself... Is this otp material? Make sure your characters are:

hello! this is a blog dedicated to collecting and compiling platonic shipnames for the pokemon franchise! (specifically the games, although if anyone else wants to take on the task of creating and managing lists for other pokemon series I'd be happy to post them here too)

[list of shipnames can be found here]

if you have a dynamic you'd like to be added to the list, then you can submit it with a custom name through this blog's askbox

it has always mildly bothered me that there wasn't a proper way to filter for platonic content in the same way you could for romantic content, so... this is the product of that. I highly encourage using these for yourself and sharing them around :D
